Ubuntu Installation :: Update And Upgrade Error Failed To Fetch
Jul 15, 2010
I am having trouble upgrading and updating. When updating the file downloads to 99% and then stops. The error message is:
[Code]...
I believe this has something to do with a power outage while upgrading a few days ago. Most of the install completed after rebooting, all except the three 'linux kernel image' files and a few others. Also, as a side issue, Flash plugin and Flex builder are no longer working. This may be unrelated. Does any one have any trouble shooting advice for the issue?
Lately when I've tried to update my packages many of them don't update. I get nothing out of the ordinary when using the terminal but when I try to update via the Update manger I get this error message:
Code: Error message: Fetch failed: W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mirror.steadfast.net_debian_dists_testing_main_source_Sources Hash Sum mismatch W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mirror.steadfast.net_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-amd64_Packages Hash Sum mismatch, W:Failed to fetch http://mirror.steadfast.net/debian/dists/testing/updates/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 208.100.4.53 80]

I've tried several different mirrors but get the same error with every one. Same result with ftp as well. Yesterday I upgraded to Wheezy and every package successfully upgraded, but today the problem started again.
While I am trying to install updates following error is displayed
W:Failed to fetch url 404 Not Found , W:Failed to fetch url 404 Not Found , E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
My internet conection is good, I've installed some updates months ago.
Fail to fetch 2 ppa.launchpad.net addresses and another cause the upgrade to terminate. The error messages suggest some type of network error. Should I wait a week and try the upgrade again?
Problem with my upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. I got the update manager to show the upgrade to 11.04 button - proceeded. It downloaded 1300 files or there abouts then did a failed to fetch http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/pool/main/g/. I took a screen shot which left the rest out - also did a select all - copy - no paste occurred. - re-obtained. So I'm thinking that the missing files are missing on this server and my current thought is that I will go to another server and try downloading from that one. BTW did the same upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 to be able to upgrade to 11.04 that one worked well I didn't know there was a 10.10 upgrade since I got here; there are a few problems that went away.. This upgrade only showed after changing my status to normal from long term.

Currently have 9.04 installed. Wanted to upgrade to 9.10. Down loaded and burned alternate CD. The desktop doesn't have internet access. The upgrade failed and generated an error:

Is it possible edit/alter a script to point to correct file and get by this error?
I upgraded to natty on release day and everything went fine, but about three days ago when I went to update my sources, I get this: Code: sudo apt-get update Code: W: Failed to fetch [URL] Sources 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch [URL] Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I've looked through the forums, but similar problems are always tied to the mozilla repo, not this one. It seems important, so I'm not sure if I should just delete it or what. My sources.list looks like this: Code: # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)]/ maverick main restricted # See [URL] for how to upgrade to newer versions of the distribution. deb [URL] natty main restricted deb-src [URL] natty main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the distribution .....
I'm running 9.04 and trying to use the update manager. On checking for updates, I get the error message:W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.uoregon.edu/ubuntu/arc...ty/Release.gpg Could not connect to 69.219.142.196:21 (69.219.142.196). - connect (111 Connection refused)W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.uoregon.edu/ubuntu/arc...tion-en_US.bz2 Could not connect to 69.219.142.196:21 (69.219.142.196). - connect (111 Connection refused)(more...)This used to work, but now it doesn't. I tried selecting all kinds of different sources in the "Software Sources" GUI. And this seemed to change my /etc/sources.list accordingly. But, whatever the hostname given (above mirror.uoregon...), that same IP address is shown 69.219.... huh? I can browse the web, etc fine from this computer
Why do I receive messages that have the phrase "fail to fetch" when I try to update Ubuntu 11.04? I am using System, Administration, Update Manager and I have not modified the file /etc/apt/sources.list; nevertheless, I have copied it below together with an example message code...
when I open the update manager, he lists 14 items as recomended updates and when I click on install updates appears a box with this mesage "An error occurred" and makes the following list: Code: W: Failed to fetch [URL] Size mismatch
I am having a problem updating my Ubuntu (10.04 Lucid Lynx). I see that other have had this problem before back on Intrepid but I was unable to find any information about people having this problem recently. When I try to update using Update Manager, I get the following errors:
Is anyone else having trouble...I'm getting a ton of "Failed to fetch..." errors while updating.The site itself is working fine. No news here [URL]. Normally I wouldn't be concerned, however this happened right when I modified my sources so I'm hoping I didn't mess something up.

I recently had windows vista taken off my hard drive and my partitions realigned to create more storage space on my hard drive. I don't now if this is related. I was able to install upgrades previously.
I'm trying to upgrade my 9.10 desktop to 10.04, and it is failing to fetch the following two packages:

I've made sure everything is patched current prior to the upgrade and have tried clearing out the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/partial first as well to no avail.
I have done a update from Lenny to Squeeze with the update manager within Gnome. And there was a error 126 and the update broke off leaving me with a non working system. The system does start into Debian Squeeze to the command line. Users are in place and a login is possible. X does not work and there a lot of broken and defect packages. I want to repair my system. Is a restore without losing the configuration possible?
I have brought a virtuell server to get Magento ready. My server is debian with PHP Version 5.2.6-1+lenny3

Today i upgraded my system and started getting error when i update, install or remove a package. The error isn't restricted only to one repository so i thing something is wrong with my system.
Update Manager fails to update the files in Karmic 9.10. The Internet access is fine but it fails to fetch from repository (404). I haven't changed any setting but since yesterday I realized the Update Manager is not working. I tried different servers and results were the same. It seems the packages are available in the server (checked by firefox), while Ubuntu can not find them. As I am using Bell-Sympatico as ISP, I am not behind any proxy.
